Unter dem Siegel Roms
Ausgewahlte Schriften (2004-2020)
by Ioan Piso
The present volume contains 40 papers on the Roman Empire, published between 2004 and 2020. Several papers have as their starting point the province of Dacia. They focus upon themes like the conquest of Dacia; the foundation, the colonisation, the organisation and the urbanisation of the province; its economic, social and politic structures; its military history (legions, auxiliary units, hierarchy) and, finally, the reasons for its abandonment. Prosopographical studies deal with personalities like Q. Marcius Turbo, the praetorian prefect of Hadrian, and governors of Lusitania and Upper Moesia. Aspects like command structures in Upper and Lower Moesia and aspects of urbanisation in Upper Moesia, Lower Moesia and Hispania Tarraconensis are also taken in account. One paper is dedicated to the political message of Trajan’s fora. The religious sphere and the mentality of the empire encompass themes like the cult of Jupiter and the provincial Capitolia, the goddess Hekate, the Isis cults and the magical texts. Events of global importance like the Jewish war in Egypt, the reforms of Gallienus and the Gothic attacks according to the new texts of Dexippos are other issues dealt with by the author.
